Recently, I shared Ginette's (GE-555) blog posting with a colleague of mine... She had been complaining about her vulnerability on the web and use of Facebook and Twitter, etc...
The blog made an impact, and she deleted her Facebook account. She explained that she thought she was becoming too reliant on it and wasting too much time. Since that time, she told me she has become "freed" from the constant checking and updating she used to do on Facebook. People wonder where "she is", but she is back where she should be--the real world.
Is this the backlash that will eventually occur when people get tired of Facebook and MySpace? Will this ever occur with the current generation?
Take a look at this link and see what you think:

Yes. People will get sick of it...I hope.
Glad my opinionated blog about social net-working could help! It's always nice to hear of someone re-joining the real world!
This was a really great article. Reading the horror story about the man who mistakenly thought he was only writing to his ex-girlfriend, but ended up exposing all his thoughts and feelings to anyone with a computer, made me happy all over again that I do not participate in the mess that is facebook. The author of the article sends out a strong reminder about how nice privacy can be!
